  • #286 - "I Got Demons"

    I realize, I was gone for like 6 months with nary a word, but I just needed a bit of time to sort of push through my own personal depression phase at all the shit that hit me last year, both COVID related and non.

    No, I didn't catch COVID, but I also haven't really seen almost anyone in over a year. I didn't travel back east to see family for Christmas. I haven't been at a concert in over a year. Hell, I haven't driven more than 20-30 miles in a year. The last time I was in SF proper was March of 2020.

    So all of that just got to me, and I needed a break for a while. It also didn't help that a bunch of people told me they hadn't really listened to the show in months because they weren't commuting any more, and I was a commute habit, so that was also a kick in the nuts.

    But, new year, new president, new lease on life. As way of apology, here's a giant megalithic show that should take you a while to digest. (It's over 5 hours long!)

    I'll probably have a show up on the Patreon in the next few days as well, and we'll see, maybe another new show here next week or the week after that, but I won't go so long again.

    So it's the end of the month and I'm cramming out a 3+ hour show, so hopefully you enjoy it, because it's got a brand new track from Fury In The Slaughterhouse and their first new album in 13 years. I liked it so much, I played it twice. Enjoy!
    3 hr 26 min
  • #283 - "Only Good Things"
    It's been a bear of a month, and I'm sorry to say, I just haven't been in the mindset to record a show before now, but I was able to rally and put forth a show for the end of the month, a great big 3 hour bugger, so enjoy it.
    3 hr 1 min
  • #282 - "If You're Doing It Right"
    I took a bit of time off, just to sort of mentally recharge my batteries. It's been a shitty month, a shitty year, and generally this year can go fucking die in a fire a thousand times over, but we gotta get through it.
    On the plus side, there's been some amazing new music released in the month or so (is that how long it was? Hell, I'm not even sure) since I released a new episode.
    A little over two hours, so enjoy.
    2 hr 7 min
  • #274 - Funk (1965-1986) (Scene Show/Deep Dive)

    With the passing of Little Richard last month, I decided I wanted to do a deep dive into funk. Turns out that's a pretty big topic, so this is a pretty big episode, and I wrap up in 1986, where funk starts to evolve into a bunch of other things. Take a listen, and if you enjoy and want a part 2 on funk, drop me a line. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy three hours on the history of funk!

  • #247 - Get Well Thorsten! / Creation Leftovers
    First, we send positive energy to our friend Thorsten Wingenfelder, and hope for his speedy recovery. Second, we cover American bands I didn't have time for in the last show. Finally, we cover how many bands Oasis cannibalized during their career...
    2 hr 3 min
  • #246 - Creation Records (Deep Dive/Scene Show)
    Let's talk about Creation Records, that titan of British music from 1983 to 1999 that basically was responsible for both the shoegaze movement and bringing Oasis to the masses. How can one label be that diverse? Because of its founder - Alan McGee.
    Over nearly three hours, I'm going to walk you through the rise and fall of Creation, cover a bunch of bands you should know as well as a bunch that you've likely never even heard of.
